Milliput Medium Fine 2-Part Self Hardening Putty, Black, MPP-5, 4oz Pack

Works great! Easy to use, dries super hard! Happy with purchase!

This stuff is wonderful! It starts out sticky, then turns to smooth clay - almost like FIlm-o- , and then it starts to harden, but there is a window of about 10 minutes where you can make it into something. It doesn't stick to your hands, like some of those other liquid metal or putty clays. Comes off your hands with water and a bit of scrubbing. I can only attest to its sticking to glass, which it does with great adherence, however, it is a bit brittle, once dry. You can snap it off with pliers or break it with a hammer if three dimensional. Of course, if you're using it to smear all over an engine or a drain pipe, etc., your project probably won't have arms and legs, so you should be just fine.

The stuff is fantastic. I originally bought it for making eyes and buttons on a snowman turned on my lathe. Perfect. Then, I was turning a bird feeder out of scrap wood and a big chunk broke out of the rim. Normally, I would have tossed it, but used some Milliput putty instead. Worked like a charm, been outside in the weather for months now with no sign of distress. Next, the lid on our auto opening waste basket in the kitchen broke off the hinges. No was glue would fix it, packed a bit of Milliput putty and re-drilled the screw holes, and good as new. Next, the seat on our picnic table had a rotten spot in it, filled it with Milliput after seeing how well it held up on the bird feeder, and worked a treat. This stuff is now a mandatory item in my shop.

As a professional sculptor, I'm using this clay when I need to fill occasional air bubbles in cast stone, and it's about perfect for my needs. It dries fairly quickly in the tiny amounts I'm using, and I can then sand/buff/wax so that it blends completely with the rest of the piece. The instructions suggest using a little water on your fingers while blending, but I find it easier to use the water *after* it's blended, since it can get pretty sticky if you accidentally add a few drops too much (I'm using less than pea-sized amounts, so your mileage may vary). Once I've applied the putty to the tiny bubble, a little water smooths it out until it's seamless. Since my base color is black, I appreciate that this putty dries to almost-pure black (it's a little closer to charcoal than absolute black). I plan to keep this in my arsenal for a long time to come.

I got this pretty quickly. I needed it for a repair project on some wood. I've been using the stuff for years, and it's just fantastic. It takes a little effort to make sure it's fully mixed up, so follow the instructions on the box. And when you're done with it, don't just wrap it back up in the plastic. It's best if you wrap them separately in their plastic, then put it in a Ziploc bag to help preserve the life. Works great for modeling, as well as filling gaps and wood or plastic and it bonds well. I prefer using this over liquid epoxies and most cases. I've never tried using a metal, so I can't say how well it bonds on that.

I have a set of pans that are about 20 years old. The handle of the pans is a sort of fibery plastic material. The heat from the stove burners degrades the handles where they meet the metal pan. This epoxy putty filled the damage in nicely. It becomes rock hard after it cures. I could sand it down to be more flush with the handle but you don't even see the epoxy when using the pans normally so I left it built up. I think having more material built up at that part of the handle is probably a good thing in this case.

Worked well for my repair of a chipped knife plastic handle. Hardened like a rock and sanded smooth. The good result let me put the paring knife back into service.

I just came from the workshop where I was using the Milliput epoxy putty in black. Mixing is easy using equal parts of the two "Tootsie Rolls". Just knead a pinch from each in the amount needed. The application for me was to fill in some worm holes and cracks that were in some spalted maple boards. For my purposes, the material has to have certain qualities; hold fast in the voids, sand flat easily, not shrink, have no plastic or metallic look, and because it was going into spalted maple having black lines through it, be black. Milliput scored 100 per cent on each of these tests. After sanding it flat with the board, the material became a bit more gray than I wanted. However, after wetting it it, the black color I wanted came back immediately. Milliput has a great product in this epoxy.
